Remember how tiring the first trimester is?
No?
Right. I didn't either. Then around week 11 or so, I was sitting at my desk at work thinking, "Gosh, I am tired! Those other times I was pregnant, I had an office and could close the door and curl up on the floor under my desk. That sure sounds luxurious now. I know this office is quiet and slow, but I am pretty sure someone would notice if I curled up on the floor at my cubicle right now."
So I did what I do sometimes, and I Googled my troubles.
Google: "peak exhaustion pregnancy"
Results: not helpful
I tried again because I was so tired it didn't seem at all absurd.
Google: "peak exhaustion first trimester"
Results: not helpful
I took a break from asking the internet to help me and tried to tell myself, "Hey - this is probably the worst of it - you know the answer. Stop Googling it, silly! And by all means, please stop reGoogling after you have already discovered nothing helpful in the internet. The only way the internet could help you now is if it could reach out to hand you a pillow, a blanket, four walls, a door, and fifteen minutes to lie down on a couch before you go back to reading about the latest and greatest in accounting standards."
I hated that advice and went back to Google because I was so tired it didn't seem at all absurd - again.
